Philip Trauring's blog, Blood and Frogs, is an excellent source of information on Jewish genealogy. His post on the symbolism engraved in Jewish gravestones is especially interesting. He includes photos as examples. Read more at LINK TO BLOOD AND FROGS

Yad Vashem has 1,100 photographs of young children who were either displaced or orphaned by the Holocaust. The Museum has created an online display of these photographs in an effort to track down and identify the children in the photos. The Museum is asking for everyone to spread the word about the online display, in the hopes of reaching these children in order to preserve their stories and, perhaps, to reconnect families. View the display at the link below:Yad Vashem Displaced Children Project Link

About Me

My wife, Deborah, and I began our quest to research and write the story of my great grandparents, Eli Fuchs and Fruma Skriloff, in 2011. We hope to visit Belarus one day and to recite the prayer of mourning over their burial site in Uzlyany, where they were executed during the Holocaust on 8 October 1941.
